Call for children born at Spires to join unit's 10th birthday celebration

10/08/2018

Children who were born at the Oxford Spires Midwifery-led Unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital are being invited to take part, along with their families, in celebrations of the 10th anniversary of the unit.

On Saturday 1 September 2018 Spires staff will hold a coffee morning event, including a birthday cake, at the John Radcliffe Hospital's Women's Centre. Pregnant women are also invited to come along to a tour of the facility, including a visit to the water birth rooms, that will take place during the day as a part of the event.

Rosalie Wright, Director of Midwifery, said: "The Midwifery-led Unit has been a great addition to the Women's Centre and is very popular with pregnant women. It combines the comfort of a relaxed and homely environment in the care of our skilled midwives with the reassurance of the ability to be very quickly transferred to the main delivery suite if things do not go quite to plan.

"This event aims to celebrate the success of the unit over the last decade where over 7,500 babies have born. Therefore, I ask families who had their children at the Spires to come along and share their memories."
